...Using hotel’s amenities as a tool
Iveta Per
Florida International University
Abstract
This paper summarizes my research in area of lodging and hotel industry, focusing on importance, ordering and controlling amenities in hotels. I have gather information from hospitality industry journal articles, web sites and also directly from facilities to gain knowledge on importance of hotels amenities and guest perceived value of these amenities. This research also seeks to understand how the hotels can use amenities to attract guest, promote the property, increase sales and set themselves apart from others.
Using hotel’s amenity as a tool
Amenity is defined in dictionary as any feature that provides comfort, convenience, or pleasure. This is especially true in lodging and hospitality industry where all types of travelers seek comfort and convenience. Hotels use amenities as tool. Amenities can be used as selling point and they also help differentiate one from other. According to Trip advisor 36% of hotel owners will use special amenities to attract guests this year (www.tripAdvisor.com).
Many times amenity becomes associated with the brand, such as Heavenly bed for Westin Hotels, Bliss Spa for W hotels, or Red Door Spa for Wyndham. At time when guest is booking hotel, the search engine will help search for hotel with particular amenities that are important to specific type of traveler. This...

...1) The importance of using hand tools
Use the Right Tool for the Job
Using the correct tool for the job is the first step in safe hand tool use. Tools are designed for specific needs. That’s why you’ll find screwdrivers with various lengths and tip styles and pliers with different head shapes. Using any tool inappropriately is a step in the wrong direction. To avoid personal injury and tool damage, select the proper tool to do the job well and safely.
Quality professional hand tools will last many years if they are taken care of and treated with respect. Manufacturers design tools for specific applications. If you use your screwdriver as a chisel or a pry bar, you can’t expect it to be in good shape when you actually need to drive a screw. Use tools only for their intended purpose.
Hand toolsUsing hand tools can injure the wrist, elbow and shoulder.
Tools that cause health problems are not necessarily of non ergonomic design ¿ they may be well designed but used excessively.
Usingtools may require awkward or static postures and forceful exertions. For example, working in cold conditions leads to a loss of sensitivity in the fingers and may lead result in a more forceful grip. Alternatively,...

...during measurements. For an experiment to be successful, especially those that involve measurements, the number of significant figures must be known. Significant figures are the digits required to express a measured quantity and thus reflect the accuracy of the measurement.
Uncertainty is defined as the smallest increment that can be measured and is defined by the instrument used.
An error is defined as any deviation from the standard value. Errors could either be systematic or random. Systematic errors are caused by measurements that are not properly calibrated while random errors are caused by chance.
Methodology
Figure 1: Experimental set-up using vernier caliper
Figure 2: Micrometer caliper
In the experiment, three measuring devices are used to obtain the measurement of a sphere with known composition: vernier caliper, micrometer caliper and a foot rule.
Ten individual measurements are then made for each of the device. After the measurements are obtained, the mean diameter of the sphere was calculated using the formula:
Mean Diameter = Σdiameter
n
Using this data, the deviation of each measurement was calculated,
d = /reading – mean diameter/
as well as its average deviation
(a.d.) = Σd
n
The volume and the density of the sphere were then calculated...

...﻿Introduction
Wrong or inaccurate measurements can lead to wrong decisions, which can have serious consequences, costing money and even lives. The human and financial consequences of wrong decisions based on poor measurement being taken in matters as important as environmental change and pollution are almost incalculable. It is important therefore to have reliable and accurate measurements which are agreed and accepted by the relevant authorities worldwide. Metrologists are therefore continuously involved in the development of new measurement techniques, instrumentation and procedures, to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for greater accuracy, increased reliability and rapidity of measurements.
A measurement tells us about a property of something. It might tell us how heavy an object is, or how hot, or how long it is. A measurement gives a number to that property, expressed in the appropriate unit. Physics is an experimental science, and as such it is largely a science of measurement. Measurement is the process of quantifying experience of the external world. Many measuring intsruments of great accuracy and sensitivity have been developed to meet the requirements of the physics laboratory. The measurent of length is of fundamental importance in scientific work hence is fitting to begin experimental work with this type of...

...Tipping the Balance of Power in Any Business Situation
No matter which industry your business is in, you can assess the forces that influence your business, including its strengths and weaknesses, using this set of five Market Forces, in order to leapfrog over your competition by better understanding the industry you and your rivals operate in.
Created by Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter to analyze the attractiveness and likelihood of profitability of an industry, Porter’s Five Forces are a simple but powerful tool for understanding where power lies in any business situation. Using this tool, you can gain insight into the competitive strength of your current position as well as one you’re considering moving into. In this way, you can take fair advantage of situations of strength, improve weaknesses, and avoid missteps.
While these Five Forces are typically used to determine whether new products, services or businesses may be profitable, you can use them to analyze any “balance of power” scenario, including key strategies in your marketing plan. But how to use Porter’s Five Forces?
The Five Forces that determine the balance of power in any business situation are:
• Supplier Power. How easy is it for suppliers to drive prices up? The answer depends upon the number of suppliers of each key element, how unique...

...“asks for nothing and gives everything”; this is exactly what technology is. Jonathan Franzen talks about how he replaced his old Black-Berry Pearl to a Black-Berry Bold. Our old phones won’t have anything to say and it is a win-win situation. We tend to replace our real personal relationship with human beings to the devices around us. We are so self-centered that we tend to forget the real relations that we have with humans and this is exactly what the author wanted us to think. Franzan uses motif and metaphor in his writing to display the self-absorbed lives that humans are living in. By using this rhetorical device he displays the true nature of human beings in our current society. He uses motif to give significance to the objects in order to portray how much humans love technology. In addition, he uses metaphors to show how humans are behaving like they are in love with a device. By using these two rhetoric devices he is able to put an emphasis on how shameful these acts are. Presently, it seems that when people gather for events all they do is just look at their phones rather than socialize with the people around us.

...Abstract
In this experiment Newton’s Second Law of Motion was measured with the use of the gravitational acceleration g on Earth by applying a free fall process.
Objective
The objective of this experiment is to validate Newton’s Second Law of motion. In experimenting the Law the measurement of acceleration of gravity was used by measuring the distance a dropped ball travels for a specific amount of time.
Procedure
First, measurements were taken of the distance from the stairway from the third floor to the ground and then from the fourth floor to the ground. The two points would be recorded as y which would remain constant. A small rubber ball was dropped from y using the same point of release. This process was repeated ten times. Then a whiffle ball was dropped from the same location ten times. The corresponding times of the falls were recorded. Next, the software Graphical Analysis was opened allowing data tables to be set up. Two columns were created. The first column was the data from the whiffle ball and the second was the solid ball’s data. Two graphs were composed. They each consisted of 10 measurements of data of the time it took the falling ball to hit the ground.
